Sean “Diddy” Combs hosted hordes of Hollywood’s biggest stars at his Hamptons mansion decades before federal authorities began investigating his “Freak Off” parties.
Following the disgraced rapper’s arrest, photos from some of his star-studded white parties have resurfaced online, showing everyone from teen heartthrobs to the biggest names in fashion at Diddy’s parties back East.
A photo from July 2000 shows Diddy and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez lying on a huge white bed with pillows. The couple were together from 1999 to 2001.
During the same party, the two were photographed together with Kimora Lee Simmons and her then-husband Russell Simmons, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Aaliyah, Leonardo DiCaprio and others.
The then 25-year-old “Titanic” star was photographed sitting next to Diddy and a few pals as they smoked and sipped champagne.
Over the years, Diddy’s guest list has included Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Howard Stern, Kelly Osbourne, Aretha Franklin, Martha Stewart, Tommy Lee, Pamela Anderson, Regis Philbin, Vera Wange, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and more.
After moving to the West Coast, Diddy continued the tradition at his Beverly Hills home, where stars like Ashton Kutcher and Russell Brand showed up in all white.
Combs and Kutcher co-hosted the party in 2009 to raise awareness for Malaria No More.
However, there is no evidence that any of the celebrities present were involved in any alleged illegal activities at the parties.
Resurfaced photos not only show the prominent participants but also provide a small insight into what happened after work.
A photo from 2008 shows two topless women sitting on an unidentified man in the pool while the rest of the partygoers go about their business.
Another photo from 1998 shows the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper pouring champagne on two nearly naked women wearing nothing but skimpy white thongs.
Other models walked around the party with only small pasties over their chests.
A former drug dealer of Diddy described his experience at one of the rapper’s parties in the Hamptons in a recent interview with the Washington Post.
“Weird shit started happening,” said the dealer, who was allegedly there to deliver cocaine.
“Celebrities fucking each other. There were back rooms and it was like the holy of holies,” he continued. “You saw two people you wouldn’t have thought would be making out with each other, rappers, that shocked me.”
The dealer claimed that many party guests, including “hookers,” were already high on ketamine and GHB when he arrived.
“That was the moment I got out of there,” he added, noting that he did not see Diddy participate in any sexual activities at the event.
Diddy was arrested last week on organized crime and sex trafficking charges. Authorities say he hosted massive sex parties, known as “freak offs,” which he allegedly “arranged, led, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.”
In the indictment, prosecutors claimed that the rapper had spent decades “abusing, threatening and coercing women and other people around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his behavior.” In doing so, he had “created a criminal organization whose members and accomplices were involved in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”
The disgraced music mogul, who pleaded not guilty, faces at least 15 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
